Question

(-2,3),(-7,-7) find the slope

Answer 1

To find the slope between two points, we need to find the rise over run. We can do this by using the slope formula. Between two points, (x, y) and (x₁, y₁), the slope is $\frac{y - y_{1}}{x - x_{1}}$. Now we can substitute the values of our points and solve. The formula becomes:

$\frac{3 - (-7)}{-2 - (-7)}$

Simplifying, we get:

$\frac{10}{5}$

2. That means that the slope between these two points is 2.

Answer 2

Hi!

To find the slope, use this formula...

$\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

Put in the values and solve!

$\frac{-7 - 3}{-7 - (-2)}$

$\frac{-10}{-5}$

Simplify

$2$

The slope is 2

Hope this helps! :)
